This weeks question, compared to previous weeks, is nice and easy. All we want to know is...

Do you use the Flat Rate VAT Scheme?

Thumbs up to the government. I've been using Flat Rat VAT for about three years and it's saved me a lot of time. If you have small vat expenses, you can also make an extra 3-4% on top of your hourly or daily rate. I think this is something that your article forgot to mention.....

Hi,

It's not worthwhile for our agency but we do have a number of contractors that use the scheme to increase their take home pay.

Not sure how it works i'm afraid....

love it, totally love it. As CM says, you actually make a bit of extra money as well as saving a whole load of time.

Please Gordon, have the sense to see a good thing for once and don't EVER remove FRV!

Thanks
H
